The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1887-10-04

For a week the sun was hidden be-
hind dense masses of black cloud, the
rains fell increasingly, and streets and
crossings were well nigh impossible. Yes
terday the sun shone bright and warm,
and the stores and shops were crowded with
eourtly danes and fair msidents in bright
colors, who were bent on making up for
the week of enforced seclusion. The walks
and crossings were alive with the dear
creatures, and gossip was exchanged On
every hand.
The Louie Lord matinee attracted mum.
bers of ladies to the opera house, who came
down early, and spent the intervening
hours in discussing the latest novelties dis
played in the windows and on the coun-
tiers of the dry goods and millinery stores.
The wonted Saturday briskness and life
were observable.

knights of Labor to Boycott the
President.

Chicago, September 3o-The III ibUne
Yesterday said s.: president Cleveland
will be made the recipient of communi-
cation on or before his arrival in Chicago
that is liable to furnish him food for study
and reflection. 1t is the result of the an
nouncement that while here on his western
tour the president will lay the corner stone
of the auditorium of mammoth structure,
designed principally for the use of nation
al political conventions. The building is
being constructed largely by non-uniin
workmen, particularly carpenters. Res
olutions like the following are being intro
6uced and almost unanimously passed In
tine various Knights of Labor and Brother
hood carpenters assemblies.
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this as
sembly that the carpenters take no part in
the coming demonstrations of October B, in
honor of President Cleveland, if the laying
of the corner stone of any building, being
constructed in part by "scab" workmen, is
concluded in said demonstration.
"The matter is being energetically
pushed in every assembly in the Union,
said Secretary Brennock, of the carpenters
council. Several meet every night and
thus far not one has failed to pass the reso-
lutions."
The originators OF the movement intend
to complete the resolutions and send the
committee around with a personal letter,
requesting the President to decline to lay
the corner stone of the boycotted building

HOW 1T WORKED.

Amid New England's sunny hills
One pleasant summer morn,
A sturdy little Yankee boy
Was hoeing at the corn.
A busy CHEEKY matron toiled
Mid culinary scenes,
Resolved the dinner hour should bring
The favorite dish of beans.
A tempting meal was soon displayed,
Spread by the housewives care,
When loud and long the warning blast
Re-echoed through the air.
Obedient to the dinner horn
The boy laid down his hoe,
But breezes waited to his ears,
any boy. hoe out your row"
The flies got in the gravy bowl,
And sported DER the tray;
The bread got dry, the butter soft,
The farmer worked away.
The coffee boiled, got blue then cold,
The Juicy steak was burned,
While on the boy the farmer pressed
The lesson he had learned.
And, while he thus instructs the lad,
The cook begins to scold,
81 wish that man could ever learn
To come when he is told"
The moral should be stated here
For those who WELD the hoe,
Whene'er you hear the dinner horn
Lay down your tools and 60.

Railroad Companies as Publish

As dissemiuators of practical infor-
nation the railroad companies of the
United States appear to be doing quite
as much in the way of educating the
adult portion of our population as is
done by the public schools in "teach-
ing the young idea how to shoot"
In addition to the matter of fact
time schedules, dealing only with fig
ures showing the arrivals and depar-
lures of trains at all stations, the rail-
way companies find it necessary to at
tract the public eye and call attention
to the particular special facilities off
cred, by printing more or less expen-
sive posters and handbills, and by
publishing guide books, pamphlets,
circulars, calendars. almanacs, etc.,
which, while serving to advertise the
different roads, also convey to the in
telligent mind considerable informa-
ton ola character calculated to in
struct the reader thereof. The wes-
tern roads, particularly, have found
it profitable to indulge in literature
of this kind, and the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il St. Paul railroad Co., takes
foremost rank in its publications.
The sending of a two.cent postage
stamp to A. V. III. Carpenter, Gener-
al Passenger Agent, Milwaukee, Wis.
will suffice to bring by return mail
any one of the following named publ,
cations which may be designated by
the applicant:
Gems of the Northwest.
A Tale of Ten Cities.
Guide to Summer Homes
The Overland Journey.
The Northwest and Far West.
Plain Facts About Dakota.
Whist, and How to Play it.
A Treatise on Hunting and Fishing.
The Reason Why, etc.
New Rules for Calculating Interest.

All of these publications are finely
illustrated and contain valuable infor-
nation which can be obtained in no
other way.

1000 Acres of Potatoes.

buIlPr llIueS.
From Mr.. VIM. Requa, of Lone
Oak township, who was in the city
Saturday, we learn that in his neigh
borhOod and within a radius of five
miles, over one thousand acres of po.
tatoes have been planted this season,
of the Peachblow variety. The entire
acreage looks very encouraging for a
large crop. and one man, who has
made potato raising business for the
past eighteen years, and who has this
season two hundred acres planted, as.
serts that his yield will be one hundred
and twenty-five bushels per acre. He
alse says he has refused fifty cents per
bushel for his crop.
The above proves that the soil OF
this county is not only adapted to the
raising of king corn, and we are glad
to see that our farmers are turnin g
their attention to other crops which
pay them far better. To be successful
in raising potatoes, the land upon
which you plant must be sandy foam
or ashy, and we predict that most of
the soil between this city and Adrian
would prove to be excellent for this
particular crop.
